3 May Face Extradition in Enron Case
Three ex-bankers at National Westminster Bank charged with cheating their employer out of $7.1 million in an Enron Corp.-related fraud may face extradition from Britain to the U.S., the U.S. Department of Justice said.
The three men were indicted by a Houston grand jury in September 2002 on charges of wire fraud related to an off-the-books Enron partnership created by the company’s ex-Chief Financial Officer Andrew S. Fastow.
David Bermingham, Gary Mulgrew and Giles Darby were arrested in London on April 23 and are free on bail, a Justice Department spokesman said. Extradition hearings are scheduled for later this month.
